Smooth Move Smoothie

Simple Smoothie is Packed with Fiber

Make your own constipation busting smoothie to boost fiber in your diet, which juices lack. This can be especially helpful when you are pregnant, which Rachelle Mallik explains in her article, Pregnancy, GI Discomforts & FODMAPs. We like this Smooth Move Smoothie for breakfast or as a snack, any time of day.

You Say Banana…

Monash University currently approves one-third of a very ripe banana (33 g) per serving, yet bananas with a little green left on them can be enjoyed whole (100 g). If you prefer the flavor and texture of ripe bananas, adjust the amount of banana accordingly, taking into consideration that you are also adding raspberries. You can see that in the image we held back a berry for garnish on our straw. Feel free to do that as well, sticking within your low FODMAP amounts.

Check out the nutrition in this one simple beverage:

Lactose-free milk – calcium, vitamin D & protein

Spinach – iron & folate)

Banana – fiber & vitamin B6

Raspberries – fiber & vitamin C
